Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters lurking
"I've seen an adult."
Li Shouxin and other fort guards also came to salute, and Zhang Han was also deeply impressed by Li Shouxin. When Chang Wei ordered the burning of the warehouses in Yusheng on the grassland, Li Shouxin was still just a team official, and now he was a deputy general manager.
"No gifts." Zhang Han said to Li Shouxin: "How is the movement in Jining Castle these days?"
Li Shouxin said: "Due to the strengthening of our cavalry strength, we sent a number of cavalrymen to travel twenty to forty miles. After passing the provocation, we found that there were many cavalry around Jining Fort, which far exceeded the level of normal provocations. We have sent Tangma to report to the Military Command and the Staff Department, and the two departments agreed to mobilize some reinforcements."
Zhang Han said: ",.☆↗.▽You must not be slackened. Each department has been stationed everywhere, and there are Beilu cruising in front of each fort. The strength of Jining Fort has been limited. This time, I came here, and almost brought about few troops left in Lizhuang. The military department is also very stretched and can only rely on myself at the critical moment."
Li Shouxin said: "Please rest assured, your subordinates are in Zen Fortress. If you lose your fortress, you will die with all the fortress guards."
Zhang Hanxian didn't say anything, he felt that the situation in Jining Castle was indeed wrong.
In theory, this is a military fort located in the middle and the terrain is relatively oriented to the south. Beilu is at most a ranger. According to Li Shouxin, Beilu has a very strong power here, which is a bit weird and abnormal!
Zhang Han said: "It's great if you have the determination. The Northern Barbarians who can defeat me and Yusheng Army Fort have not been born yet. Since the fort guard said that the strength here is insufficient, I will enter the fort for the time being and garrison with you."
Li Shouxin said: "Don't you just go after a patrol or leave, or you should stay here? Your status is valuable, so you must not be in a dangerous place!"
"Where is the danger?" Zhang Han said in a joking tone: "There are military forts, you, and the cavalrymen in front of me, where do I have any danger?"
Li Xuan and others also came up to persuade him, but Zhang Han decided to make up his mind and began to bring people into the fort. Not only did he enter the fort himself, but he also sent flying cavalry to Sun Jingting and Li Shenming, so that he would still be stationed on the front line, and Sun Jingting was responsible for the western line, and Li Shenming was responsible for the eastern line. If Zhang Han was surrounded, the two of them had the right to make decisions on military and political affairs. Li Yuchun, Liang Hong, Zhou Fengji and others who stayed in Xinping Fort and Li Zhuang, as well as Li Dongxue, Ren Jing and others, everything was followed by the decisions of Li Shenming and Sun Jingting.
Zhang Han did not specify in the document which of Li Shenming and Sun Jingting had a higher status. Li Shenming was in charge of the attendant and had a very close relationship with Zhang Han. The relationship was still before Sun Jingting. Sun Jingting was capable and serious and responsible. This time he went north to show his character, which made Zhang Han relied on it. After the Military Command Command was handed over to Sun Jingting, Zhang Han would not bother him in many things.
These two people can't say which one is higher or lower. Zhang Han estimated that Li Shenming would give in to Sun Jingting some military affairs. Li Shenming could have more room for the leading position in foreign affairs and internal affairs.
Zhang Han wasn't sure if he would be surrounded, but he hoped that.
If the Beilu is exhausted for a long time, it is not a good thing. There are two most important points. Now the Chamber of Commerce is no longer exported from Xinpingbao, but from Xuanfu and Jizhen. In this way, it is far away in the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The large number of convoys are very eye-catching. The money used to buy civil servants and generals from all over the country has increased, which invisibly increases the cost. In addition, it is difficult to hide it over time, and something will happen sooner or later. Secondly, it is because the delay is delayed for a long time, which is likely to expand the situation and go in an uncontrollable direction.
Even if this war cannot end in a short period of time, Zhang Han hopes that the script will be written by himself.
The military fortress with a mile and thirty steps is not far ahead and is built next to the seazi in Jining. The so-called seazi is a lake. The Mongolians respected water and regarded lakes and rivers as gods. They may not take a bath in their lives. In addition, they grazed and ate beef and mutton, and they wore crude furs. Of course, there is no need to mention the taste on their bodies. These seazis are very well protected. Zhang Han looked at them on the hillside, and the waves were sparkling and the lake water was clear.
Li Shouxin said on the side: "The military fort is on the lakeside, and there is a small river on the right, flowing east and west, more than 60 miles long. The north is the pasture of the Tumote tribe, and the east is the place where Kalaqin people grazed. In the past, there must be herds of cattle and sheep, and there were yurts everywhere. Now the herdsmen have been driven away, everywhere is empty, and the wolf howls are soaring at night."
Zhang Han smiled and said, "I'll go to fight the wolf that night, let's roast the wolf meat to eat."
Li Shouxin said: "It's better to be careful when entering the fort. Although our whistle drivers have spread, we must beware of the Beilu having a small whistle lurking in it."
"The more this happens, the more we will make a big noise... Now we can't figure out the details of the Beili. If I don't move, they won't move. Let's move and see what they will say." Zhang Han said, then looked at the west side of the military fort.
From there, a small river was drained, which filled the three-mile-long trench outside the military fort with water. If Beilu wanted to intercept the flow, it would be fine. It had to cross the river and go upstream of Haizi to block the mouth. The digging was very wide and within the range of the artillery. It had to endure considerable casualties and injuries before the dragon could be combined. Then the river water did not dry up at once. Pierce piles and iron nails were buried at the bottom of the trench. The iron net had to be cut off when going up the slope. Then there was a horse-blocking wall in front, and there were two walls. The first wall was low and the second wall was high, so it could be set up in sections. The defenses of these periphery alone were enough for Beilu to drink a pot.
Although the military fort is not big, just one mile in size, the base of the fort is made of stone, bricks on the wall, and only two fort gates are set up. There are protruding parts on the other two sides. Both women's walls have perforations. The buildings are high, with columns on the inclined surfaces and straw curtains are laid on the upper surface. Sagittarius can move and shoot in the tunnel formed by the women's walls and straw curtains, without worrying about being shot by arrows.
Beilu did not have any firearms, which made people feel comforted.
A burst of pride surged in Zhang Han's heart. This place was originally a barren meadow, with only Mongolian herders appearing here, but now there is this heroic city. All of this is his own achievements. He raised his horse whip and smiled and said, "Okay, come to the city, and be willing to go with me to fight the wolf at night!"
...
Before dark, Zhao Shiwen left with his assistant, and his face was a little worried, making people feel very worried.
Zhao Shiwen is responsible for all the baggage camps, and he has to worry about the baggage soldiers in every day. Jining Fort is a small fort, with this place as the Central Government. It is nearly 200 miles to Xinping Fort, more than 180 miles to Shangyi Fort, more than 130 miles to Daheihe Fort, and more than 280 miles to Xiaoheihe Fort. Now there are six military platforms to Xinping Fort, and there are forty-three Dunbaos. According to actual needs, there should be fifteen to twenty military platforms on the way alone, and at least about one hundred Dunbaos are needed. Based on the fifteen people per dunbao, this straight line alone requires 1,500 baggage soldiers, and the east and west lines are similar. The number of baggage soldiers is more than 5,000, and the civilians and various related materials are not counted.
A assistant of Zhao Shiwen said to him: "Why should Lord Zhao be worried? If you have an elder in charge, coordinate with all the troops, and cooperate with the battle soldiers and baggage soldiers, Yusheng and I will succeed in our great work, and the Northern Barbarians will be defeated."
"Don't talk." Zhao Shiwen scolded: "Do you know how much labor, how much labor, how much grain, and how many baggage soldiers are required to be guarded?"
The man dared not speak out. Zhao Shiwen said: "According to the materials that rebuilt Xuanfu and Datong forts, each pier and each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, each pier, and other materials, it takes fifty taels of silver. Our army's defense line is connected to one line from east to west, south to north, a total of more than 1,100 miles, every three miles, one pier, and one pier, each pier, and one pier, each pier, and each pier requires two hundred to three hundred silver, each pier requires six hundred to eight hundred silver, each pier requires three thousand to five thousand silver, and at least forty large and small military forts... In addition to facilities such as trenches and horse walls, how many baggages and civilians need to be built? The daily garrison is supported by combat troops, and the baggage troops is the main one. How many days and silver will be spent on training, use and recruitment of baggage troops?"
Everyone was asked so hard that they dared not speak. The person who spoke at the beginning was frightened by the numbers on this side and his face turned pale.
This long list of questions is actually something that Zhao Shiwen often considers when thinking about it every day.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this northbound strategy is really only successful and must not fail.
Now that the early projects have been mostly over, the Northern Territories have gathered in large numbers, and most of the civilians have retreated into the side wall. What Zhao Shiwen needs to do is to coordinate the training and allocation of baggage troops and repair some unfinished military towers. The rest can only depend on the progress of the war.
...
Tabunan and several pointed whistles have been lurking outside Jining Fort for more than ten days.
He didn't know why he was sent to this fort, but he only knew that his superiors attached great importance to this fort. Not only did he have a sharp whistle here, but there were also several sharp whistles staring at it, far or near.
The entire West Mongolia has been mobilizing for more than a month, and it has been nearly three months since Heyusheng built the military fortress pier. It was already mid-April, but no one has taken action. Instead, the pastures everywhere were harassed by Zhou Yao from Heyusheng. There were many dead herders, and the wealth was burned and stolen. All tribes were full of complaints, and the leading Dataiji had already been under great pressure.
Tabunang was also dissatisfied. He felt that the nobles above were not determined enough, and Genghis Khan's descendants had become very cowardly.
The Mongols had not conquered the Ming Dynasty military fort, and they were alone with Yusheng's military fortress, so how could they be as terrible as they thought?
It was almost noon, and Tabuang felt the vibration of the ground. The ground at the root of the grass seemed to be trembling slightly. He made a hand gesture, and several pointed whistles bent down together, hiding his body in the grass from the depths.
Their war horses were placed in a distance, only a few miles away from Jining Fort, and you can clearly see the activities inside and outside the fort, and it is easy to be discovered if there are horses.
This place was originally a pasture with lush water and grass, but now it is more than half a person tall. Tabu Bag bites a piece of grass roots and feels extremely angry.
